Atlanta,
GA - Hailing Newt Gingrich
as a “true conservative” and
“the best man to defeat President Obama,” Georgia Representative Lynn
Westmoreland became the latest member of the U.S. Congress to endorse Newt’s campaign.
“Newt is a true conservative and
a proven leader who has focused his campaign on the issues, presenting
real solutions to the problems facing our country today,” Congressman Westmoreland said. “He is uniting
conservatives across the country and I believe
he is the best man to defeat President Obama. I'm proud to put my
support behind Newt and
look forward to helping him win back the White House."
“I’m delighted to have
the support of my friend Lynn
Westmoreland, a true conservative leader for Georgia,” Gingrich said
today. “Our campaign continues to build momentum and
enthusiasm, as voters increasingly understand that we are the
conservative choice in this election.”
The
endorsement is the latest sign of gathering momentum for the
Gingrich campaign as it works to consolidate its conservative base in
the weeks before the Iowa caucuses. On Wednesday Gingrich met in
Arlington, Virginia, with nearly 70 uncommitted conservative leaders to
lay out his plans for reclaiming the White House and
bringing real change to the American people. His remarks were met
with
a “sustained ovation,” according to organizers of the event.
